Testimonies
Rozhodl jsem se natočit film o Jožkovi hned v prvním okamžiku našeho setkání. Daří se mu kombinovat vážná témata jako osobní, tak romských komunit v České republice s radostí ze života takovým způsobem, na kterým se člověk stane skoro závislý. Nová generace Romů potřebuje hrdinu jako je Jožka.
Prasata na místě bývalého koncentračního tábora pro Romy! To je symbol nekončícího ponižování a diskriminace Romů, nejpronásledovanější menšiny v Evropě. Protagonista filmu Jožka bojuje za spravedlnost. My všichni bychom mu měli pomoci na jeho velmi těžké cestě.
Pigs in the place of a former concentration camp for Roma! That symbolizes well the still ongoing dehumiliation and discrimination of Roma people, the most persecuted community of Europe. The main protagonist, Jožka is fighting for justice. We should all help him on his very hard journey.
I have decided to shoot a film about Jožka in the first moment I met him. He manages to combine severe issues of his life and the life of Romani community in the Czech Republic with cheerfulness and light-heartedness in a way, which makes you addicted to him. The new generation of Roma needs a hero like him.
